SUMMARY:Virtual Winter Lecture Series 2025: Envisioning A Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of virtual lectures at 7 p.m. central on Sunday evenings. The lectures are free via Zoom and will be posted on YouTube afterwards. For more information about receiving the Zoom link and viewing the lectures\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. \nGovernments around the world have responded with different degrees of commitment to carbon reduction\, made at the annual climate-change summits. As individuals\, we frequently perceive the urgent threat of climate change with a sense of helplessness\, feeling that our individual actions may lack the capacity to effect meaningful change. This series seeks to transcend the conventional focus on carbon reduction by offering a vision of hope that emphasizes community-building solutions while addressing critical challenges related to shelter\, food security\, and sustainability. The activists and experts in the final panel will inform us on local issues and how we can each play a part in resolving them. \nFebruary 16 – Dr. Barb Mayes Boustead will provide an overview from her perspective of a career in climate\, weather\, and communication. \nBarb Mayes Boustead is a meteorologist and climatologist. She received her Ph.D. in Natural Resources: Climate Assessment and Impacts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a dissertation titled\, “The hard winter of 1880-1881: Climatological context and communication via a Laura Ingalls Wilder narrative\,” and her forthcoming nonfiction book Wilder Weather draws further into what we can learn from the weather and climate of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books and life. She has served as an author for the 4th and 5th National Climate Assessments. \nFebruary 23 – Dr. Tim Crews will speak on regenerative agriculture. \nTim Crews is the Chief Scientist and directs the International Initiative at The Land Institute in Salina\, Kansas. He pursued a doctorate degree at Cornell\, carried out a post-doc fellowship at Stanford\, and developed an agroecology program at Prescott College in Northern Arizona. A significant amount of Tim’s research on perennial grains has focused on topics closely tied to climate change adaptation and mitigation. \nMarch 2 – Dr. John Ikerd will speak briefly on sustainable economics and then hold a conversation with Prof. Charles Francis on the topic. \nJohn Ikerd was raised on a small dairy farm in southwest Missouri and received his Ph.D. degree in agricultural economics from the University of Missouri. He worked in private industry for a time before moving to academia. He retired from the University of Missouri in early 2000 and has maintained an active writing and speaking schedule since retirement. He has published extensively on economic sustainability. \nCharles A. Francis is Professor emeritus Agronomy & Horticulture\, with expertise and teaching experience in agroecology\, farming systems\, and global food and equity issues. \nMarch 9 – Dr. Elizabeth Sawin will speak on multisolving and engage with Peter Hind and Marc Shkolnick on Lincoln’s Low Income Energy Efficiency Rental Rehab Program. \nElizabeth Sawin is the Founder and Director of the Multisolving Institute. A biologist with a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, she co-founded Climate Interactive in 2010 and led the scientific team that offered the first assessment of the sufficiency of country pledges to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Dr. Sawin is an expert on solutions that address climate change while also improving health\, well-being\, and economic vitality. \nPeter Hind is the Director of Lincoln Urban Development. \nMarc Shkolnick has served as Manager of Energy Services at Lincoln Electric System for more than 17 years. The department is charged with providing comprehensive and customized customer experience for the city of Lincoln’s industrial\, commercial business and residential customers. His team is also responsible for administering the utility’s energy efficiency\, demand response\, customer-owned renewables and emerging technology programs.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: MK Chavez
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nThis workshop will explore how hybrid poetry serves as a powerful tool for self-exploration and expression. By engaging with the fluid and transformative nature of hybrid forms\, we’ll delve into how our identities\, shaped by the intersections of various influences\, can be authentically reflected in our writing. We will examine how hybrid poems\, which blend elements of narrative\, memoir\, and cultural commentary\, allow us to navigate the complexities of our inner and outer worlds. Participants will have the opportunity to create works that capture the richness of their experiences\, exploring themes of identity\, place\, and the self in all its dimensions. This workshop invites writers to move beyond traditional forms\, using hybrid poetry as a way to express the multifaceted nature of their authentic selves. Whether you’re experienced in poetry or new to this form\, this workshop will provide a supportive space to explore the connections between our lived experiences and our creative expressions. \nMK CHAVEZ is a writer and educator whose work explores mixed-race identity\, social justice\, environmental resilience\, horror cinema\, magic\, ritual\, and the creative process. As founder of the Ouroboros Writing Lab\, MK Chavez provides a nurturing space for writers to grow. The Lab offers workshops designed to expand creative boundaries and individual and group creative coaching. Chavez’s work is recognized with the Pen Josephine Miles Award\, San Francisco Foundation/Nomadic Press Literary Award\, and the Ruth Weiss Maverick Award. Chavez’s publications include Dear Animal\, Mothermorphosis\, the lyric essay chapbook A Brief History of the Selfie\, and Virgin Eyes. Recent work can be found as part of the art installation Manifest Differently. \n​

SUMMARY:Virtual Winter Lecture Series 2025: Envisioning A Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of virtual lectures at 7 p.m. central on Sunday evenings. The lectures are free via Zoom and will be posted on YouTube afterwards. For more information about receiving the Zoom link and viewing the lectures\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. \nGovernments around the world have responded with different degrees of commitment to carbon reduction\, made at the annual climate-change summits. As individuals\, we frequently perceive the urgent threat of climate change with a sense of helplessness\, feeling that our individual actions may lack the capacity to effect meaningful change. This series seeks to transcend the conventional focus on carbon reduction by offering a vision of hope that emphasizes community-building solutions while addressing critical challenges related to shelter\, food security\, and sustainability. The activists and experts in the final panel will inform us on local issues and how we can each play a part in resolving them. \nFebruary 16 – Dr. Barb Mayes Boustead will provide an overview from her perspective of a career in climate\, weather\, and communication. \nBarb Mayes Boustead is a meteorologist and climatologist. She received her Ph.D. in Natural Resources: Climate Assessment and Impacts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a dissertation titled\, “The hard winter of 1880-1881: Climatological context and communication via a Laura Ingalls Wilder narrative\,” and her forthcoming nonfiction book Wilder Weather draws further into what we can learn from the weather and climate of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books and life. She has served as an author for the 4th and 5th National Climate Assessments. \nFebruary 23 – Dr. Tim Crews will speak on regenerative agriculture. \nTim Crews is the Chief Scientist and directs the International Initiative at The Land Institute in Salina\, Kansas. He pursued a doctorate degree at Cornell\, carried out a post-doc fellowship at Stanford\, and developed an agroecology program at Prescott College in Northern Arizona. A significant amount of Tim’s research on perennial grains has focused on topics closely tied to climate change adaptation and mitigation. \nMarch 2 – Dr. John Ikerd will speak briefly on sustainable economics and then hold a conversation with Prof. Charles Francis on the topic. \nJohn Ikerd was raised on a small dairy farm in southwest Missouri and received his Ph.D. degree in agricultural economics from the University of Missouri. He worked in private industry for a time before moving to academia. He retired from the University of Missouri in early 2000 and has maintained an active writing and speaking schedule since retirement. He has published extensively on economic sustainability. \nCharles A. Francis is Professor emeritus Agronomy & Horticulture\, with expertise and teaching experience in agroecology\, farming systems\, and global food and equity issues. \nMarch 9 – Dr. Elizabeth Sawin will speak on multisolving and engage with Peter Hind and Marc Shkolnick on Lincoln’s Low Income Energy Efficiency Rental Rehab Program. \nElizabeth Sawin is the Founder and Director of the Multisolving Institute. A biologist with a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, she co-founded Climate Interactive in 2010 and led the scientific team that offered the first assessment of the sufficiency of country pledges to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Dr. Sawin is an expert on solutions that address climate change while also improving health\, well-being\, and economic vitality. \nPeter Hind is the Director of Lincoln Urban Development. \nMarc Shkolnick has served as Manager of Energy Services at Lincoln Electric System for more than 17 years.

SUMMARY:"Saints Above & Sinners Below" Mexican & Spanish Colonial Devotional Art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents devotional art (iconography\, ex-votos\, retablos\, etc.) from a private collection. Devotional art is considered “for the people\, by the people.” In contrast to art created by classically trained artists in guilds\, devotional art was produced by self-taught artists (many of whom were moderate- to low-income) and usually painted on wood or tin. During the Spanish Colonial period\, when many were illiterate\, this art was a medium for education and veneration. \nThe exhibition will be viewable Tuesday through Friday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday / Sunday 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. \nOpening reception March 2 from noon to 3 p.m. \nDr. Kinga J. Novak will present two lectures about this devotional art – one in English\, and one in Spanish. \nEnglish talk: March 13 at 6:30 pm \nSpanish talk: March 15 at 10:00 am
